The endless feedback loop

Jack Layton, asked during a post-QP scrum yesterday, comments on recent government moves in response to the likes of Graham James and Clifford Olson.

Well, it does seem to be policy-making by headlines and sensationalism.  Of course a lot of Canadians I’m sure would have trouble with Mr. Olson getting payments while he’s in prison and so do we.  But the bill has got to be looked at very, very carefully to see exactly what the Conservatives are up to here but they do appear to be making headlines by making policy based on headlines.
